Chapter 320: Twin Cities at a Historical Turning Point

After resigning, Lu Yao felt relieved. He held the thermos cup in both hands, walked a few steps in the room, and hummed the song "Good Days" that he had heard when he was a child.

——Today is a good day, hey, everything I want can come true, hey~

The cold winter is fading, and the warm spring is not far away.

He clicked on Yaocheng.

As the big brother of all cities, I don’t know if Yaocheng has made any progress during this period.

When the perspective is all in Yaocheng, the simulator pops up a bunch of reminders.

[Yaocheng promulgated: "Education Law"]

[Yaocheng made clear provisions that parents have the responsibility to let their children receive proper education. Otherwise, children have the right not to support their parents after they become adults. ]

[Because of the emergence of the "Education Law", Yaocheng's literacy rate has increased significantly and the fertility rate has increased slightly. ]

[Yaocheng has created a new social system: universal theocracy]

[Universal theocracy, a social system with the temple as the social core and knowledge base, and based on the temple and theology to implement citizens' rights and obligations. 】

【Because of the creation of universal theocracy, the knowledge of all people in Yaocheng has been slightly improved, the number of foreigners has increased, the city's attractiveness has increased significantly, and the city's influence has increased significantly. 】

Lu Yao really didn't expect it this time.

Yaocheng actually created a social system based on theology that has never existed before.

He clicked on the background and found [Universal Theocracy].

The source of this social system is the unique way of managing the city by the Temple.

The prophet serves the gods and conveys oracles to the Temple.

The Temple is responsible for many specific secular affairs of the city, and the head of the meeting is the final decision maker.

Since the Temple was born from the prophet, the focus is also on maintaining the stability of the city. Compared with rapid development, a stable environment and continuous population growth are more important.

No matter how the outside world changes, even in the most severe period of floods and disaster beasts, Yaocheng has always maintained a safe environment as stable as Mount Tai.

During the period of rapid development, cities such as Yancheng are naturally more attractive, but when faced with various pressures and turmoil, Yaocheng has become the best place to settle and a safe haven.

Today, Yaocheng has quietly surpassed 160,000 people, the largest permanent population among all cities. Yancheng, which once surpassed the population, has a population of only 130,000, entering a new bottleneck period.

The core of universal theocracy is a series of policies derived from the ancient oracles of the temple to increase population and faith.

These policies are also advancing with the times.

For example, the "Education Law", a groundbreaking bill, has been introduced, which requires newborns to receive education and also sets a threshold for parents who raise children.

Yaocheng has also given corresponding support. Four large-scale enlightenment schools have been built in the city, located in the four corners of the east, west, south and north. Basic literacy education for newborns is free.

Children as young as 8 can apply for admission. The subjects they study include basic theology, Yao language, mathematics, and history for a period of 4 years.

After completing the courses of the enlightenment school, outstanding graduates can continue to enter the seminary for free.

The seminary now has subjects such as theology, medicine, mathematics, language and history.

Among them, Yaocheng's theology, medicine (branch of potions), and language are the most advantageous subjects, and many talents have been cultivated in the past.

Students who successfully graduate from the seminary can obtain the scholar certification of the temple. After becoming a formal scholar, they can live in any city. Yaocheng does not impose any restrictions.

Lu Yao looked into Yaocheng.

After the social system of universal theocracy was formally established, the pace of life in this holy city became slower and more leisurely, and the academic atmosphere became stronger.

Several pixel people strolled on the streets of the city, discussing various experiences.

"Recently, we are conducting a secret experiment in White Castle. It is said that we are going to create the latest armor... It is the [Holy Wish] in "Temple Knight". The Apostles avoid talking about it, and many teachers privately think that it is very likely true."

"Really? Have you found the [Holy Wish]?"

"Of course not... The Apostles are unwilling to reveal that kind of thing, so there is no way to find it. White Castle is trying to restore and imitate it based on "Temple Knight" to see if it can create similar armor."

"I thought it was true, hey."

Someone else said: "Don't think too much about the Holy Wish, it's still uncertain. But the potion is real! We The School of Pharmacy is working on a big project to create a transformation potion that can turn into a powerful supernatural being in a short period of time, with the ultimate goal of turning into a dragon! "

"That's enough, you are even more outrageous than [Holy Wish]. "

The man insisted: "Potions have a solid foundation and experience! As long as it is verified by a large number of experiments, it can be done..."

Another person interrupted him: "Yes, yes, yes. The potion is indeed easy to use, but your drug tester dares to say that a powerful new type of powerful potion can be used immediately after it is invented?"

"..."

Lu Yao watched from the sidelines and combined with the various descriptions of the world background, he made a simplified summary of the universal divine power.

In short, this system is the temple with education as the core driving force and equal opportunity as the social foundation, and further improves the life culture of Yaocheng.

The residents of Yaocheng have less pressure in life, are more educated, take knowledge and skills as their core competitiveness, and have relatively developed theoretical research and basic disciplines. The establishment of universal divine power further consolidates the status of the cultural and belief center city.

After watching Yaocheng, Lu Yao looked at Yancheng again.

As one of the twin cities, after visiting Yaocheng, I can’t help but take a look at Yancheng next door.

Yancheng's urban construction is extremely outstanding, with blocks divided one after another.

There are commercial areas with markets and shops, residential areas with orderly houses, public building areas with Yancheng Bathhouse, Citizens' Council, Library, Engineering College, Ghost Lighthouse, etc., and some gardens, walking avenues and public areas. Just talking about urban construction, it is even better than Yaocheng.

Prompt bars popped up in the simulator.

[Yancheng created: Yancheng Bonds]

[Because of the emergence of Yancheng Bonds, Yancheng's economic vitality has been greatly improved and its trade capacity has been greatly enhanced. ]

[Yancheng promulgated: "Obligation Law"]

[Because of the emergence of "Obligation Law", Yancheng's public security has been slightly improved and trade efficiency has been slightly improved. ]

[Yancheng promulgated: "Invention Law"]

[Because of the emergence of "Invention Law", Yancheng's urban attractiveness has increased and scholars have become active. ]

[Yancheng promulgated: "Labor Employment Law"]

[Because of the emergence of "Labor Employment Law", Yancheng's foreign population has increased. 】

【Yancheng has created a new social system: the city-state responsibility system】

【The city-state responsibility system takes the city-state as the main body of residents' investment, and residents bear the returns and risks brought by the investment. The city-state is responsible for debts within the scope of property prescribed by law, and only a certain maximum amount of property is the limit of liability. 】

【Because of the establishment of the city-state responsibility system, the morale of all people in Yancheng has improved slightly, the city's attractiveness has increased significantly, and the city's influence has increased significantly. 】

Lu Yao clicked on the details one by one.

Yancheng bonds are the basis of the city-state responsibility system.

Yancheng raises a certain amount of funds for various business projects and construction by selling bonds to residents, and the proceeds are divided among each bondholder in proportion.

The "Debt Law" is a constraint on bonds, further clarifies rights and obligations, and also defines clearer legal rules for this prosperous commercial city.

The "Invention Law" clarifies the rewards for inventors and protects inventors to prevent infringement of legitimate rights.

The Labor Employment Law is biased towards workers. It clarifies the minimum wage in Yancheng and the rights that workers must enjoy, and also provides formal protection in the legal sense to employees.

The source of the city-state responsibility system is the Extraordinary Employment Association of Saniluo.

The emergence of the Extraordinary Union has caused a strong impact on the existing order of the Yao world. This is the first time that an organization composed of Extraordinary people has spoken for workers and defended the dignity and remuneration of workers.

The voice of Saniluo has brought the most direct and severe challenge to Yancheng, the most developed commercial city.

Workers have more choices: if they want high wages, they can go to Crystal City and Wuda City in the north where there is a shortage of manpower. If they want more opportunities, they can go to Saniluo to work. If they want a stable life, Yaocheng is the best choice.

After repeated discussions, the city council of Yancheng decided to formally reform - not only to follow the trend, but also to go further and turn the disadvantages of the past into advantages now!

After repeated discussions in the council and the summary of a large number of opinions from scholars and citizens, the city-state responsibility system came into being.

In Yancheng, a portion of the remuneration of each resident will be distributed in the form of Yancheng bonds, and private transactions of bonds are also allowed.

The income of bonds is floating and can be exchanged once a year. You must make an appointment in advance at the bond front desk of the parliament hall. Once confirmed, it cannot be changed.

This allows a certain number of people to obtain high returns. The bond income will stimulate the labor enthusiasm of citizens and make bonds circulate, turning them into another shadow currency.

Through this series of operations, Yancheng successfully broke free from the quagmire of slow development in the past, and once again stood at the forefront of cities relying on a strong economic engine, competing with the big brother Yaocheng.

Lu Yao ate two potato chips while watching.

The second season of Twin Cities has started, right?

Brother, try watching two episodes first.
